<p>Is there any way to stop Zulip from automatically converting text to urls? I don't really need <a href="http://crates.io">crates.io</a> made into a link every single time. I wouldn't mind so much but I find the blue text draws unnecessary attention to something that's not really being used as a link within its context. I'd feel the same way if random words were italicized or bolded.</p>

<p>but I suspect you want something client-side, not something that the message author has to do themselves</p>

<p>Especially annoying when people type <code>build.rs</code> without backticks and it becomes a URL: <a href="http://build.rs">build.rs</a> <span aria-label="laughing" class="emoji emoji-1f606" role="img" title="laughing">:laughing:</span></p>
